Overview
Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music, operating as the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, provides concerts, music instruction, and participatory programs for more than 80,000 people each year. This organizational effectiveness grant supports internal capacity building to deepen the organization’s awareness, knowledge, skill, policies and practices around equity, inclusion and diversity. Helping individual grantee organizations develop their internal competencies for equity-focused work will in turn support the nonprofit arts field in the Bay Area to coalesce around common language and best practices for equity in the arts.
